urgent: Problem using basic authentication

[Ramit Bhardwaj <ra...@cybage.com>]

Hi guys,
I am using the sample application given on the commons httpclient site for basic authentication. I have my server running on my own machine on 8080 port. I have a realm called 'MyRealm'. Now when i run this application i get a below mentioned error.
P.S;-My basic aunthetication is only for /temp/* pages.

Sep 26, 2005 3:48:28 PM org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.AuthChallengeProcessor selectAuthScheme
INFO: basic authentication scheme selected
Sep 26, 2005 3:48:28 PM org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector processWWWAuthChallenge
INFO: No credentials available for BASIC 'MyRealm'@localhost:8080

The program is as follows
public class BasicAuthHttpClient {

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
        
        // pass our credentials to HttpClient, they will only be used for
        // authenticating to servers with realm "realm" on the host
        // to authenticate against an arbitrary realm or host change the appropriate argument to null.
        client.getState().setCredentials(new AuthScope("http://localhost", 8080,"MyRealm"),new UsernamePasswordCredentials("MyRealm", "hello"));
        
        

        // create a GET method that reads a file over HTTP, we're assuming
        // that this file requires basic authentication using the realm above.
        GetMethod get = new GetMethod("http://localhost:8080/sample/temp/index.html");

        // Tell the GET method to automatically handle authentication. The
        // method will use any appropriate credentials to handle basic
        // authentication requests.  Setting this value to false will cause
        // any request for authentication to return with a status of 401.
        // It will then be up to the client to handle the authentication.
        get.setDoAuthentication( true );

        try {
            // execute the GET
            int status = client.executeMethod( get );

            // print the status and response
            System.out.println(status + "\n" + get.getResponseBodyAsString());

        } finally {
            // release any connection resources used by the method
            get.releaseConnection();
        }
    }
}

Why is it saying that no credentials are avaliable.
looking forward to urgent reply...

Hi,

when creating the AuthScope, pass the host instead of a URL.
That's "localhost", not "http://localhost". My first idea was to
pass "'MyRealm'" instead of "MyRealm" :-)

hope that helps,
  Roland
